Natural Gas Fires.

For mill-purposes, the gas is distributed
under the boilers, and wherever needed, by
a system of small pipes the blaze supply
ing the heat directly but for household
uses, in stoves and fireplaces, the gas-pipe
is usually placed at the bottom of the CRATES
which are filled with something to receive
and hold the heat. In rooms where the
open crate, burning the soft bitumnous
coal, has always been used, a pleasing va
riety in the arrangement of gas fires is
found. Some people do away with the CRATE
altogether, and supplant it with a clever
imitation in cast iron of the old time back
log. But the commonly accepted plan is To
retain the CRATE, filling it generally with
coarsely broken fire brick, which, when
heated, looks much like anthracite coal
Foundry Stag, properly arranged, presents
perfect representation of IA soft coal fire,
and is, therefore, more beautiful and desira-
BILE. Others resort to the novel plan of fill
ing their CRATES with porcelain door-knobs,
for which purpose they are bought by the
peck or bushel The quantity of gas burned
is regulated by valve at each fireplace :
and the ease with which gas fire is made,
regulated and put out, coupled with its
freedom from smoke, dust and ashes, has
warmed the heart Of womankind toward it
with very great affection Nicholas

that at no distant day thousands Of acres

A Methodist minister tells this story
Rev. William Barnes was an lrishman,
noted equally for his power and his eccen-
tricities. He wore a shirt collar of stupen-
dous size, and curly wig The latter ar
ticle of decoration was the subject of some
unfriendly criticism; and, this coming Ia
his ears. he prefaced his Sunday sermon
with the following remarks
"Braithren | understand there's some of
We that don't like it because | wear "a wag,
Now, I've made up my mind to wear it OF
not, jist as the congregation says. Here
am look at me- This is Billy Barnes iciH
the wag. And this, at the same time
snatching the offending wig from the toy
of his bald pate, this is Billy Barnes ioith-
om the wag Which way will we have
him :" In the roars of laughter and vocif
erous responses Brother Burners ,CH he

utterly discounted

young Clark had charge of the mamlactur-

A PARADE TO PROTEST.
5000 Men March With Draped Flags
in New York.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Ihere was large,
peaceable procession of sympathizers with
Socialism in this city tonight to protest
against the hanging of the Anarchists in
Chicago tomorrow. The paraders were all
orderly and no sign of disturbances oc-
Cured. 1t might have been different had
Johann Most and other Anarchist speakers
haranglled the crowd at Union Square as
was at first contemplated, but subsequent
arrangements did away with all chance Of
a conflict between the Socialists and the
authorities. II was after 9 o'clock when
the solemn march of protest began
down Broadway. Large numbers of per-
sons witnessed the parade, despite the in
clement weather, and the scene was i'm
pressive as the long line of men, 5000
strong, passed down the street with red and
black flags, all heavily draped in
Grape, bands playing the dead
march from Saul and the Marseilles
There were many transparences, too
bearing the words: Beware of Insurrec-
ton, ~ "Gallows Contra Liberty y 9Ye Sons
of Toll Awake to Glory" and Gallon En-
fants de la Patri.n There were no police in
the parade, but large forces were massed in
the side streets. and the police patrol box
near Fifteenth street, in Broadway, was
open ready TO send out an alarm
for reinforcements, but there was no
occasion for using it. When the procession
was well on its way down Broadway the
police divided into three divisions One
went down University place and two Others
a short distance down Broadway after the
Anarchists. When the parade reached the
post Office it turned into Park Row where
it disbanded. The police were still out of
sight

gust, however, her demeanor completely
changed. There was look, then a gasp,
and in trice the lovers were in each others

officers crowded up the door of the library,
but it was quickly shut by the deputy. Tho
interview between the prisoner and his

tonight. Approaching the door which

mission to proceed This was denied. But

Mrs. Parsons. you cannot" was the re-
ply. Then the dusky wife of the Anarchist
threw up her hands and fell to the floor in a
dead faint. 1t took over twenty minutes to
bring her to consciousness, but when this
was done she was escorted from the build
